Petroff, John and Mary nee Skaggs
My grandfather was John Petroff and lived at Monaville, WV until his death in 1943. My grandmother, Mary Edna Skaggs, died shortly after my mother was born (about 1930). My mother was Betty Petroff. She had one brother, Albert (a.k.a Banner) and one sister, Defena. This is the extent of my knowledge and I have no pictures of my grandparents. My grandfather was from Bulgaria and finding information about him is virtually impossible. However, my grandmother, Mary Edna Skaggs, was from Jenkins, KY. I know she had family in the Logan area but I have been unable to connect with anyone that’s a relative. If anyone has any pictures or information about my grandparents, please contact me. My email address is: thompsof at gmail dot com

Hello – I am looking to connect with anyone who might have known Opal Imogen Cole, born October 3, 1916 or her son, David Cole, Sr. (nickname Mick) born July 5, 1946. They are my grandmother and father. I know that Opal’s mother’s maiden name was Mc Comas (or Mc Comis…not sure of spelling). I am not sure of all of Opal’s siblings, but I do know she had an older brother named Ralph (LN?), and sister’s named Merle (LN?), Hallene (LN?), and Doris Blankenship. I was also told of a possibly Uncle “Whitey”. I can be reached at katieocole@gmail.com and would love to hear from anyone related or who may have connection to the family. Thanks very much – Katie

Trying to find some of my relatives in the Logan area. My Grandfather was John Franklin Bartoe, my Father was his youngest son Luther Clarence Bartoe. I know there are probably a lot of my cousins still living in the area. His brothers were, Odell, & John that lived in the area. Odell was known as Wink and raised his family in Lenore. Hoping I hear from someone there!
Thanks
Nancy
I believe my ex father in law, John Bartoe might have had a brother named Luther. He was married to Edith Simpson. They had six children, of whom, to my knowledge the only one left may be Terry Bartoe. Deceased children of John and Edith were Willis, Phyllis, Mona, Marvin, and Homer. As far as I know Terry is living but I have no idea where.
I know of no children from Willis, Phyliss had a son, Rodney who lived in the Bridgeton, N.J area. Mona had two children, Edith”Edie” McCabe and a son Tommy who was killed in a hunting accident by his uncle Terry. Marvin lived in the Cora area of Logan, WV. He had two sons in NJ, I can’t remember their names and several children by Brenda Gibson of Cora. He died a couple of years ago of lung disease, and never married any of the mothers of his children. Homer died by suicide, he was my ex- husband. He had a previous wife to me, last name Butcher who died in a fire. They had no children. Homer and I had one son. John and Edith lived at the 20 Whitman area. He was a miner. I hope this helps. I do caution you that in this particular branch was a strong history of alcoholism. I tell you this for medical history. Best wishes.
I am trying to find information about my grandparents – Richard Lockhart and Nancy Blankenship Lockhart. I think they lived in the Barnabus area. Nancy died in 1933 and left several children that were all separated – my dad was one of them. Anyone with information please email me at
